| Wireless keyboard encoder? |

| DaOld Man:
Howdy folks! happy Easter and I hope you all are doing fine. Sorry I havent been around much, life and all, you know. No updates on the RPi Jukebox I was working on. I made the mistake of buying my GF an Echo Show (Alexa), and she decided that would do everything my juke box will, so i put the jukebox on hold. Im sure i will find another project for the junk I bought for it. Anyway, i was wondering if anyone makes a wireless keyboard encoder? I plugged my computer into my Living Room TV and used a wireless keyboard and mouse to play some games, and I thought, this would be great for a wireless arcade console panel. I could hack the wireless keyboard and mouse but Im sure I would run into ghosting problems. A keyboard encoder would be better i think. (IE keywiz, etc). PS, no I havent search for any info or projects on here cause Im a lazy (INSERT EXPLICIT HERE). LOL |

Thanks PL1. But maybe Im missing something. Is this wireless? Meaning no wired connection to the PC? Wireless keyboards and mice have a small receiver that plugs into a PC USB port. Im seeing optional bluetooth dongle, I guess this would have to be purchased to make it truly wireless? I may have to brush up on keyboard hacks and using diodes to prevent ghosting, then destroy a cheap wireless keyboard. (Dusting off my mad scientist hat). Maybe hack the mouse to use as a spinner or trackball? |

Ok, I read some of the manual, it is bluetooth but does require the dongle, or maybe any type will work? Interesting. |
